8. Oh, My Genitalia! (w/ Emily Sucher!)

Trigger Warning at the jump for this one: We are discussing the R*pe and Revenge genre of horror. But it's Women's History Month gahdammit so we are doing so via Coralie Fargeat's REVENGE (2017)!

Along for the journey is professional intimacy choreographer Emily Sucher, who brings her expertise of staging sexy moments onstage to discussing the sexy (and VERY unsexy) aspects of this amazing/gross movie.

We also yell at Joa*uin Phoenix! Then Emily lays out the important pillars of staging scenes of intimacy and sexual assault. Then I dream of becoming a stripper pole! I'm also pretty sure I use the term "diatribe" incorrectly?? (Whatever. I'm not a dictionary y'all.)

Also on this ep: CAT PEOPLE (1942), Natalie Portman, and stanning the feminist queers of French Cinema. Books mentioned are:

MEN, WOMEN, and CHAIN SAWS: Gender in the Modern Horror Film, by Carol J. Clover

FILMS of the NEW FRENCH EXTREMITY: Visceral Horror and National Identity, by Alexandra West
